I"m thinking of grabbing the "Randall" model in the natural color. I have a 36 chest and would get the size 36 based on MF's measurements. However, my only concern is that the sleeves seem a little loose and blousy compared to what I'm used to wearing from other brands like Aero. Does this...

Nice jacket. Is it CXL leather? i’m looking to add a natural color to my collection, but don’t want something as heavy as CXL. Thanks

Thanks for all the great feedback, guys! The weird pocket angle on the Californian would be a deal-breaker for me since I often use the pockets to keep my hands warm. Another model I've been considering is the ELMC Highway Star. Anyone own this one?

Gentlemen, I'm in the process of deciding my next leather jacket. I already have the Aero 1930s slim fit half-belt in brown FQHH that I purchased over 10 years ago. I'm debating between the ELMC Californian and another Aero slim fit half-belt. The color will be black and if I choose Aero, it...

These shoes really don't need any introduction. They are about as classic and timeless as it gets. Here is a beautiful and well maintained pair of Alden color #8 shell cordovan longings (975s) in size 6.5D on the Barrie last. They will fit you if you normally wear a size 7D as the Barrie last...

Sold!

Here is a beautiful and rare Lost Worlds Ryder jacket made of front quarter horsehide in a gorgeous russet brown. The sleeves have a woolen storm cuff for keeping out the cold. The jacket is in excellent shape with not rips or stains. It has been lovingly taken care of from a smoke free home. It...

Dinerman, Thanks for all the links. Unfortunately, none of them are my size. I'm a 36/small.

Looking for the classic navy issue blues. I've looked on eBay but no luck so far.

Gents, Looking to add a CPO shirt to my wardrobe this fall. What brands/retailers do you all recommend? I'm currently considering a Buzz Rickson model. Any others? Thanks for your recs.

Just got my Whites over the weekend! I'm very happy with them. The black cherry color looks more like a dark brown. The fit is great; still getting use to the arch support. Going down 1/2 size was the right decision. Sorry for the poor lighting. They forgot to include the leather laces, but I'll...

Yes, I did send my measurements and foot tracings to Whites. They felt confident with the 6.5D sizing. I was on the border between a 6.5 and a 7 but since the arch support brings the toes further back, they felt that a 6.5 should be fine.

Daizawaguy, Thanks again for your feedback. I placed my order directly with Whites. I read somewhere else that someone placed an order through Baker's and they screwed up the sizing and would not honor a refund. Therefore, I ordered directly with Whites in case this happens. Here's what I...

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to stay with the standard last. How about sizing? Do most people drop down 1/2 a size in these?

Could someone post a side by side comparison photo between the standard and the swing last? I'm planning to order a pair and am trying to decide which last to get. Is there a difference in fit between the two or is it just aesthetics? Thanks!
